Reduction in Amtrak service worries some Havre, Montana residents

For PJ’s Lounge in Havre, the Amtrak train station just across the street is big business. “We’ve seen a noticeable impact since we lost the ticket agents,” said owner Gal Phillips.

As of Monday, Amtrak has reduced traffic to and from the station from seven days per week to three days a week.

“We’ll probably notice a loss in sales at least four days a week now losing the service,” said Phillips. “We are going to have to try to make it up somehow.”
